Crypto casinos may be one of the waves of the future in gaming circles. The blockchain-based currency has begun to sign up sports stars. Boxing champ Manny Pacquiao launched his own crypto token last month.
And now Brazilian soccer legend, Roberto Carlos, has signed on as an ambassador for LUCKY.io, a new blockchain-based casino. According to Games Magazine Brasil, the crypto casino offers users the chance to play with a betting platform using the company’s own LUCK token.
Carlos, a ten year member of the Brazil national team, stopped in LUCKY.io’s headquarters on Malta last month to promote the company and its crypto currency. While there, he visited a children’s charity Puttinu Cares, donating $2,000 in partnership with LUCKY.io.
The new LUCK crypto currency can be used for betting on the LUCKY.io platform, ensuring a fast and secure way to play with this blockchain-based online casino.
Blockchain has been making a number of strides into sports of late, with La Liga football club Atletico Madrid, becoming the latest team to secure a deal with Socios.com, a crypto-based platform that gives supporters voting rights. Socios will debut an official fan token this fall. The value of the digital asset has been set at two Euros. Owners will be able to participate in polls conducted via the Socios mobile app.
Token owners also get access to exclusive games and rewards through the app as well. Fans receive incentives for time spent on the Socios app.
Coin Rivet reported earlier this year that Portuguese soccer club, Benfica, now accepts crypto currency payments in the official club store thanks to a partnership with UTRUST, a crypto and fiat payments gateway. UTRUST allows customers to pay with their favorite crypto currency and then immediately convert it to fiat, which means suppliers can get paid in full in US dollars or Euros and other fiat-based currencies.
